Grub error 22

Hey everybody,

I have been using backtrack 4 for awhile now, and just decided to install it on a partition on my hard drive. I followed all the steps in the "install.sh" installer, and everything went fine. I rebooted, selected backtrack from the grub list, and it booted fine.

My problem arose when I rebooted again and tried to boot into windows 7. It took me automatically to the recovery program, and tried to do a factory reset on my laptop. I quit the program, which auto-restarted my computer, and from then on, only boots to a black screen which says "Grub error 22"

I can still boot via usb to Backtrack 4, but when I try to run the installer again, it only shows 20gb free on my 250gb hard drive, and widows is gone.

Hello, I hate to tell you this but your windows installation might very well be gone. This has happened to me as well when i installed backtrack to the hardrive and tried to dual boot it. One thing you can try is to boot up to backtrack via bootdrive and then access your windows partition and try to transfer the data to an external hardrive that is what i had to do.
